Brainstorm Run Execution Issue

Bugs

Dear Brainstrom Teams,

Hello,
I recently updated to Version: 29-Nov-2023, and I'm encountering the following error when I try to run it. Can you help me resolve this issue?
I am currently using Matlab2023b.

Thanks,

It seems it is related to path where the plugins are.
After getting the error, run these lines in Matlab, and paste the result in this post

% Get list of Plugins that are installed
InstPlugs = bst_plugin('GetInstalled');
% For the Installed Plugins that are Loaded at the Startup, print the Path of their logos
{InstPlugs(logical([InstPlugs.AutoLoad])).LogoFile}

Dear Raymundo,

Thank you for your prompt advice. However, even after implementing the suggested changes, the problem persists.

Upon further inspection, I've found that the 2023b version still does not execute properly. In contrast, the 2022a version runs smoothly.

For the time being, I plan to continue using the 2022a version. It would be great if, in the future, I could run it on the 2023b version.

Thank you.

Yoon

Glad to hear it is running well on 2022a.

What was printed in the Matlab Command Window after running the lines from this response?
